I purchased GRID recently on steam to race with friends and relive some of the great racing moments we had when it was first released. Unfortunately, we found out that GRID is showing its age, requiring a lot of manual tweaking just to run under a modern PC (x64 win10). And even then, the handling felt loose and lagging on a wheel config and the force feedback so linear was better off (G27), with the occasional FPS dips here and there (1080p @ 60fps). So in all honesty, it would be hard to recommend an aging GRID game, if you don't already have it, with so many other newer racing titles offering the same or superior experience for a similar price (see from the same franchise e.g. Grid Autosport & Grid 2). Nevertheless, I will give it the thumbs up, cause it has given me countless hours of online racing mayhem when it used to be current.

GRiD is a solid arcade style racer with light team management aspects that plays well in spaces Gran Turismo and Project Gotham created.

Pros:+A great feeling racer. Older and heavier cars have a great sense of weight and skid in corners, light cars jostle as you would expect over minor bumps. Each has a unique feel that match what I expected.+For a game getting close to 10 years old, it still looks pretty darn good!+Lots of team creativity. You have huge pools of potential team mates, can choose coordinating team paint schemes, choose sponsorships on a nifty risk/reward system. It's not deep but it can be very satisfying.+A solid selection of cars to chose from, many dream cars without much filler.+The time rewind feature is a great tool to have in your back pocket, if nothing else to calm down murderous rogue A.I.

Cons:-No tuning. I understand this is an arcade racer but even some slight modification options such as tires would have been nice.-A.I. is usually competent but when they get a little confused things can go off the rails really quickly. This includes your teammate trying to wreck you out of first place sometimes.-24hrs of Le Mans gets boring after the 3rd or so time, quit pushing us to race it all the time.

Meh:=Not much music. It doesn't need a 60 song pop hits juke box but a little something extra would have been nice.=Voice acting is all over the place. Ranges from robust (pit chief) to mechanical (manager) to cringy (white guys doing foreign accents)=Drifting segments do not feel terribly fleshed out and the drift detection seems inconsistent. Project Gotham nailed this early on so that's disappointing to see.

Overall GRiD is certainly one of the better options for fun arcade racing on PC. While an older title it still manages to provide an entertaining race experience.
